The screenshots in the article are clearly fake. There is no instagram.workplace.com

Can you please prove in any way that this url does not exist?

instagram.workplace.com redirects to www.workplace.com

Any other legit domains take you to their SSO page. Try walmart.workplace.com

Ever heard of “intranet”? Local network urls are not available outside company network.

Seems any invalid subdomain causes a redirect to the www subdomain: asdfgqwerty.workplace.com

Apparently not - 'How the Hell Did Document Leak?' – Meta Internal Mail Belies 'Fabricated' Charge Against The Wire - https://thewire.in/tech/meta-xcheck-internal-email-watchlist

That's fake too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33165975 https://twitter.com/swodinsky/status/1579847763499847681

Siddharth Vardarajan, the founder editor of The Wire magazine which has published these articles, is an internationally reputed journalist who went on to become the national editor of one of India's largest and most reputed english daily newspaper (The Hindu). He studied in London School of Economics and Columbia University, has taught at New York University and still does at University of California, Berkley.

So forgive me for not believing your claim (based on someone else's weak claim) that his magazine is peddling fake news.

It's basic journalism to vet any source and have their claims verified (through other sources and methods), which 'The Wire' is known to do even more diligently than other indian media outlets. Moreover, if this was actual fake news Meta / FB would have immediately sued The Wire to have their articles taken down immediately and also filed defamation suits against them.

workplace.com is owned by Meta. So who knows if they are running their own intranet instance for themselves. They dont need to pay big bucks to anyone to cause a fake redirect.

> The government targets Muslims openly, turns a blind eye to crimes against them, and supports hate rhetroic until it gets international attention from countries that affect their economy (The Arabic gulf). Do you have any source for these claims.

Just sharing only a few examples on top of my mind. This is a pretty much everyday story in India. - Bilkis Bano case: Bilkis a muslim woman, who was 5 months pregnant, was gangraped and her three-year-old daughter was among 14 killed by a hindu mob on March 3, 2002 in Gujarat. 11 Hindu persons were convicted and jailed. In 2022 court/government set all of them free. [1] - In 2018 police arrested a 84-year-old activi…

> And whats is the Western response Why should west meddle in the affairs of a foreign country?

Well they always do it "to defend human rights" but suddenly that doesn't matter in India.

> Well they always do it "to defend human rights"

Which is always a bullshit excuse to soothe the masses.

> but suddenly that doesn't matter in India.

Pffff, when had it really mattered to a culture, whose propaganda had turned "And you lynch negroes" into an insensitive racist joke. It's only brought up once the establishment needs to shit on another country or needs an excuse for a military or an economic warfare.

Not really surprised by this. In 2020 Facebook India's then Policy Head Aanki Das told employees that "punishing violations by politicians from Mr Modi's [Prime Minister Narendra Modi] party would damage the company's business prospects in the country".

So many Sikh pages in India get banned on such a regular basis its incredible to see in real time. Considering Sikhs are a somewhat secondary target to Indian Muslims I cannot imagine the scale of operations against them.

The wire story is turning out to be false. Will you also come out and acknowledge your fault. India just saved last Sikhs from anhilation in Afghanistan islamic regime. Sikhs are near non existing in Pakistan. The only major sikh friendly nation has been india. Sure you wouldn't acknowledge that
